This is my 3rd pair of Keens. This means I almost live in them. They are very comfortable and seem to have a fraternity of wearers who compare styles with strangers who are also wearing them. For me, my regular size fits well and the style is good for winter.

Great shoes; I have them in the green, too. They are comfortable and good for walking, plenty of support and cushion. The black run a little narrow, but then, I have wide feet.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair. I am on my feet all day at a hospital. I usually wear wide shoe, but this works for me. I also wear orthotics and they fit well. As with most of the Keens I always need to order a half size larger than my other shoes. My only gripe would be that the shoe laces come loose very easily so I always have to double knot.

Keen Charleston Lace - It is a good shoe. It is a size smaller than marked, I tried 1/2 first and the toe box was too small. I think it has a nice casual look. The only thing is the top was a little tight against my ankle at first but that has worn off with some flexibility.

Nice lightweight Keen - Keen comfort in a nice lightweight knock-around shoe. A tad dressier looking than a running shoe or a heavy duty Keen hiker. I'm loving it but expect that it might wear out faster than my heavier Keens.

My dream was dashed! Since I rarely meet a size 12 that I like let alone LOVE, I was thrilled to order a black walking shoe that people were crazy about. Since I really measure an 11.5 and I was ordering up a 1/2 size to comply with wearers guidelines of this shoe, I was convinced before it got here (24 hours later), that this shoe was IT! Not true, the shoe is snuggy with the lace-up and looks attractive on a long foot but in actuality, it runs a full size too small. A major disappointment. The shoe is a winner for anyone it fits.

Make sure you order a half size up from your usual. These are cut short, but they are oh-so-comfy if you get the right size. The rubber toe acts like a bumper. Great for walking, looks good with jeans and casual pants.

Very Comfortable! These shoes are so comfortable and light weight. I usually wear a 9.5 in Keens, but I needed a 10 in this style --the toes are not quite as wide.

No regrets - Comfortable for regular to slightly wide foot. Plenty of room for toes. Do not need to wear my inserts with these shoes.

Another great Keen - Great wearing shoe, no need to break in. Ordered my regular size and had to return for a 1/2 size larger. Wanted them for New Years trip and Zappos made sure I had the right size shoe for my trip. Thanks Zappos.

A decent shoe - I thought these were cute but returned them because they were too short. Bummer.

Slick and light - These are very sharp-looking - the black suede is matte and the profile looks nice with any kind of pant. The sole is very light - not like a typical Keen shoe. Not sure if this will work well in winter weather. More of a zip-around-town shoe for nice days. Like others have mentioned, these are a bit narrower in front than typical Keen. Does accommodate my sport orthotics.

Comfortable from the first moment - I love these shoes. I wore them all day the first time I put them on and they are my shoes of choice ever since then. Love them and love Zappos' service!!

Not *perfect* - but I'm very happy with this shoe - I ordered these for work - as I needed something that would keep my feet dry if I had to walk outside in the rain. They are pretty comfortable, and decent looking (I got the brown ones). I don't particularly like the way the black part comes up and over the toe - it's not symmetrical, and it kinda bugs me. However, it's been useful as I can hit the toe of my shoe on things and not scuff up the shoe. Reasonably comfortable, I can wear them all day at work (office job - not on my feet most of the day) and be fine. Only rubs a little bit at the heel of my right foot - but that may be because that foot is a little bigger - so it fits slightly differently. Whatever the cause - it's not enough to cause discomfort, or blisters. Overall - pleased with this purchase.

Nice! These are a little narrower, and more stream-lined than the usual Keen shoe. They do not offer as much support, but are still way more comfortable than any shoe I have that is not named Keen. My usual size is 8.5, but as with many Keen shoes, I ordered a 9 and that was the correct size. I am not able to put my orthotics in these as they are a little too narrow for them.

GREAT! The MOST COMFORTABLE non-sandal type shoes I've had in about a decade! They also look great. I got the black and like them so much I wanted to order them in another color, but Zappos no longer have any in my size. I have a long, narrow foot and the B width adjusted great because it's designed great to be adjustable. They also accommodate my 3/4 length orthotics. The sole has great traction. Almost no break in period.

Good alternative for narrow feet! I love Keen shoes but a lot of them are too wide for my narrow feet, so I got this lace-up style and they were a great choice! I love them! They felt comfy right out of the box - no breaking in time. This is the kind of shoe you end up wearing all the time!

Walking shoe - I needed a comfortable shoe to wear around work and this filled the bill. Very supportive. Laces come up to the top of the foot.

Awesome shoe!! I have so many foot problems and I have tried so many different types of shoes to provide me the most comfort and support. I was looking for a casual shoe and was thrilled that these came in my size 12 foot! Now these are the only shoes I wear most of the time. Some days I may start out wearing a different pair but end up putting these on for comfort and support. I will look for Keen shoes in the future as they are great. Thank you!
